Our Padres grow in profound ways and are challenged to achieve their best in a supportive environment. Developing strength of character, faith and integrity are key elements of a Serra high school experience.

Serra's exceptional college-prep program prepares students for the world beyond high school. Our professional college counselors help Padres to find schools that best suit their needs for a well-rounded, successful college experience.

Campus ministry is immersive. Serra Padres are taught to give of themselves and treat people with dignity and compassion. Students of all faiths participate in community service locally and around the world.

Serra fosters a camaraderie that forms a foundation for lifelong friendships. From the performing arts stage and fine art studies to our athletics fields and club venues, our Padres enjoy the positive energy of our vibrant campus.

Immersion

Changing the world, one trip at a time.

From the rugged mountains in Appalachia and the verdant strawberry fields of Watsonville to the simple villages of Nicaragua, Serra Padres participate in several immersion trips each year. Building relationships with communities is at the heart of our program. We seek to foster and grow in justice, spirituality, solidarity and community.

Although challenging, the service immersion trips are extremely rewarding. Many Padres say that participating in an immersion trip was one of their best experiences at Serra. The immersion experience enables our students to see the world from a different perspective, while living out the rich tradition of Catholic social teaching.
